There are no longer scholarships administered directly through the Graduate School. Scholarship Universe is PSU's portal for exploring and applying for a wide variety of general (not degree specific) as well as programmatic-, departmental-, and college-specific scholarships. Millions of dollars in scholarships are available, mostly cash awards, provided through the generosity of many donors.
Scholarship Universe also features an integrated search engine for more than 15,000 external scholarships that are sponsored and managed by individuals and organizations that are not affiliated with PSU.
